Accessibility & LanguageBA Global Experience
BA Global Experience
Year Abroad 2026/27
All 2nd Year BA Global Experience non-language students were required to attend an information session on Wednesday, 5th November 2025, hosted by the CASSCS Mobility Officer. Attendance at this session was mandatory for any student wishing to study abroad. You may view the slides from this BA Global Experience Study Abroad Info Session.
Non-language students on this programme will soon be invited to complete an application indicating their preferred study abroad destinations and the reasons for their choices. Essential information sources will be the 2026 list of CASSCS study abroad partners and subject combinations and the Appendix to the study abroad application form 2026/27. Both documents have been updated on 6th November, and the application form will be emailed to students soon.
Please pay careful attention to e-mails from the CASSCS Mobility Officer! Failure to engage with the processes could result in your not being eligible to take part in study abroad.
COSTS: An important consideration for anyone planning to study abroad is finance. The International Office website has some useful information on Financial Planning for Study Abroad, including a very helpful document showing the estimated costs for non-EU destinations.
Language students will initially be advised about study abroad by the Erasmus academic coordinator in their language discipline(s)
Students should keep in mind that due to the limited number of exchange places available, they may not be allocated a place in their preferred destination: they would then receive an offer for an alternative destination.
In February/March, students will be nominated to their host universities abroad.
